Linksys BEFSR41 (any version) FTP issue

Recently my 5+ year old Linksys router stopped translating PASV commands for the FTP protocol. This showed up first by throwing errors during the LIST process and then just ended up refusing to translate any PASV commands. In the end the inconsistency finally resulted in no Active or Passive FTP traffic whatsoever, with all other features working just fine. Linksys's Routers are one of the few that can dynamically handle PASV commands and port shifting, without leaving open ports on a perm basis. It accomplishes this with an API translator that is prone to corruption. I've not found a way to fix the issue (that wouldn't have cost more in time than the cost of a new router). If your functioning FTP site suddenly stops translating PASV commands and starts throwing 226 and 500 errors and it's behind a Linksys BEFSR41 try removing it from the loop of possibilities. Just might save you some time.

Sure there can be a litany of other things that can cause the issue, last on most peoples list is the routers translation API, but it's really not that uncommon of a problem for these normally iron clad work horses.

Long live your BEFSR41, rip to the rest...

Know your seasoned customers

Know your customers, treat them like they want to be treated, build relationships by what you do not what you say you do..

All good statements, not often followed.

Take sports season ticket holders for example. Most teams put "guest service" representatives in the sections where they know they have season ticket holders. One might call these season ticket holders "seasoned customers", and the related guest service representatives "relationship managers". It really works well, the relationships that are created are amazing.

Enter the newbie, "unseasoned customer". What better advertisement for what a company (or Team) than for the newbie to witness that relationship unfold a few seats down. Never underestimate the collateral of a relationship, it may be your best advertising avenue ever....

Am I the only NON-RAZR owner?

Seems like everyone has a RAZR these days (at least in the airport where I am today). Can anyone tell me about the VZ (Verizon)Navigator Service and how it works with your model phone...

--What model??

Thanks
